The line was so long I couldn't see the beginning or the end. My soup was getting cold and lunch was almost over and I haven't even gotten through the line. "Reese!" Yelled someone across the room. I turned but realized there was no one there. A hand laid on my shoulder softly shaking me "Reese!" I turned around and my face went red, it was Jonathan. "Reese!" He said. "What what do you need" I snapped in a playful voice. "Come with me" he said grabbing my hand. I looked down then at my hand and back at him. " What? Never had your hand held before." He laughed. I shook my head softly wondering how Kristen would feel about this. He dragged me to the front of the line and waved at the lunch lady who was nodding at him. "Take a seat" he said pointing to the seat that was empty next to his. "I have to go back I didn't pay for my meal yet" I whispered. "I payed for it already" he smiled. I took the seat next to his then a young boy about 14, a year younger than me with orange and red tinted hair sat on the other side of me. "Hey I'm Troy but my friends call me Wildfire" the young boy said. "H-h-hi I'm Reese nice to meet you". I placed out my hand waiting for him to shake it but he just looked at me like I was crazy. "What in the world are you doing girl. If you need to know anything about me it is that I don't shake I light. this. place. UP! He waved his hands in the air and fire came pouring out. "I see where you get your name" I said covering my head hoping my hair wouldn't catch on fire. When he sat down Jonathan and him started talking about how Jonathan and I met yesterday and how clumsy I am in his good natured ways. I could get used to this.
